Unrefined Cupuacu Butter for Soap and Skincare Formulations
Our Unrefined Cupuacu Butter is a powerhouse ingredient sourced directly from Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. It retains all its natural, nutrient-rich properties, offering intense moisturization and a creamy texture perfect for skincare and haircare formulations.
Key Features & Benefits
- Superior Moisturization: Unrefined Cupuacu Butter deeply penetrates the skin, providing long-lasting hydration. It can absorb up to 240% of its weight in water, making it perfect for products targeting moisture retention and elasticity.
- Rich Nutrient Profile: High in fatty acids, this butter helps improve skin elasticity, promotes suppleness, and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
- Non-Greasy Finish: Despite its rich consistency, it absorbs easily, leaving a silky, non-greasy feel.
- Natural Lanolin Alternative: Its high water absorption capacity makes it an excellent vegan alternative to lanolin in moisturizing products.
- Improves Hair Manageability: Adds softness, shine, and frizz control, making it a great addition to conditioners and hair masks.
